One Thing at a Time

Obviously, things have been a little busy in the life of Mike lately. Actually, it’s not so much that things have been busy that’s kept me away from this blog, it’s the overwhelming number of considerations that have kept my mind occupied on things other than writing about being a survivor.

So, I haven’t had much to say about things, but lately I’ve been thinking that I need to stop letting my thoughts be preoccupied with things that may or may not occur. I can only do one thing at a time. I should only be focused on the one thing I’m doing. The rest will still be there, whether I spend time thinking about it or not, I should save my mental energy to work on what’s in front of me.

So, for tomorrow it’s work, then a wedding rehearsal dinner. Saturday will be finishing up packing for vacation before heading to my brother’s wedding. Sunday we’ll be hitting the road for vacation. There’s many other things that’ll be going on during that time, but we’ll worry about that when we get back. There are events to be enjoyed, and memories to be made. No sense ruining those worrying about something I can’t do anything about right now.

    Trust Issues

    I was having a conversation recently about relationships with someone who travels as part of their job, like I do.

  • Just because

    I’m posting this just so you all know I’m still here and things are still working. 🙂 We spent the last few days in Louisiana, a state which I am now determined just doesn’t like me, visiting with Angela’s grandfather. As any trip with your in-laws would be (or any trip with anyone is for…

  • Car Trouble

    Is there anything more stressful than having car trouble? I’m fairly sure that it’s an alternator problem, but the car is only a year old. I shouldn’t be having that sort of problem with it! Not to mention the fact that I just had it at the dealership for a recall last week. (Unrelated problem.)…

    Rock Bottom Revisited – A Personal Story

    Earl K. Long Hospital, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jan. 1997. Many people who’ve been through mental health issues, addiction, and so on, refer to “rock bottom”, that one place in time when things got so bad, they couldn’t get any worse. For me, that was Jan 1997. My marriage had just ended, and I quit therapy…

  • Coming up for air

    Hi there, remember me? 🙂 OK so it hasn’t been that long since I posted anything over here, but I can’t help but feel a little like I’ve been neglecting things over here. It’s true, I’ve been working head-down in technology for a while now, and really haven’t had time to put together too many…

  • Lucky Me

    Today is my second wedding anniversary. We aren’t going to be doing anything special today to celebrate, mostly because she’s got a 12 hour workday scheduled, but we will be celebrating in style by relaxing in Tennessee for most of the week! After my first marriage ended in utter failure due to my ongoing battles…
